CHRYSANTHEMUMS.
Some Useful Hints. About the Culture OF
This Charming Plant.

Some Useful Hints. About the Culture OF
This Charming Plant.
This charming race (Pyrettrum sin
ease), which may justly be considered
everybody's flower, from its easy cul-
ture and its wide adaptability to soils
and localities, is especially valuable for
coming in at time when approaching
winter denudes the gardens of their ac-
customed ornaments. Indeed, it seems
almost smoke and frost proof, and will
struggle on against both drawbacks
with the perseverance and resolution
that brave spirit encounters difficult
ties, blooming during intervals when
ever open weather permits till its pc
riod of duty is accomplished. Under
the shelter of glass, of course this is not
interfered with, but warm house is not
required; indeed, it is rather against
the welfare of this plant. The
chlysanthemum has undergone sim
liar improvement to that which has
attended so many other favorite plants.
New types have been introduced, and
new varieties have come to the front.
Of all these, however, the Japanese are
unquestionably the creme de la creme.
AS to their treatment, it is worth while
noting that the taller varieties succeed
well trained against wall, and in that
position, being somewhat sheltered,
continue to flower later than in the
open ground. For indoor blooming in
pots. it will be most advantageous for
amateurs to purchase compact little
plants about to come into flower. But
where any of the dwarf kinds are not
already in bloom in the borders, same
may be taken up with good ''ball'
and dropped into pots mot too smalD
already prepared, with crooks for
drainage, and rich loamy and sandy
soil about one-third up the pot for
the ball to rest upon. Then drop
the ball into the pot with as little dis
turbance as psssible, and fill in firmly
with the soil already named. Water
with tepid water, and keep the plants
close for few days. If this operation
be carefully done, the plants will re-
ceive no greater check than will pro-
tract their towering for short time
which is one of the advantages of such
a procedure. To increase a stock of
favorite varieties, young suckers from
the roots may be taken after the bloom
ing has entirely ceased. Let them be
potted singly in small pots of sandy
soil, and placed in a gentle hotbed in a
frame, or kept in warm greenhouse
if such be at command. As they grow
they must be shifted once or twice, ac-
cording to circumstances, and will be
fit to plant out or potted on if intended
for that mode of culture.-London

NATURES BEAUTIES.
On the Rio di Somno, Brazil, at the Dawn
of Morning.


of Morning.
The soft tones of the dawn of n fine
morning fell alike upon field and flood
and tinged all creation with iti rosy
hues. The rich-colored banks glowed
with the warm light that made the
dripping leaves of forest, the ferns and
flowers of the shore, all flash and spar
kle like Jewels. On the river, here and
there, patches of rising vapor partly
obscured its sheets of cleaning gold,
until gentle breeze carried away the
mist in the faintest of clouds. The fish
splashed in the misty waters;
gay blue-bronze king-ishers darted
from their perches on the bleached
skeleton trunks of stranded snags;
while herons skinned the waters with
wide outstretched wing; clouds of
noisy, chattering parroquets flew by,
numerous small birds twittered and
chirruped, and in the woods the roar of
guaribds, or bowling monkeys, echoed
and re-echoed from cliff to cliff of the
banks. 1t was a picture that even in
the absence of personal comfort one
could gaze upon with delight, and all
nature seemed to welcome the rosy
dawn and pure. fresh air after the bois-
ferrous, darksome night.-JdmeS ".

Bandit is q State Affair So Far.
DENVER, Col, Aug. l9.-The troops
which left here Tuesday night for Meeker
were, at last accounts, marching from
Gypsum, the end of the railroad, for
Glenwood Springs, which latter place
they would reach last night. They num-
Der one hundred and seventy, and will
probably move on towards Meeker this
morning. One company from Aspen has
preceded them. Couriers between Meeker
and Glenwood Springs have been fred on,
and the impression prevails that the Utes
are endeavoring to make communication
hazardous.
Another company of the First regiment
is awaiting orders to move, and still others
are pressing their services on the Cover
nor. General Crook telegraphs Governor
Adams declining to interfere, and the
Governor has replied in effect, that the In
dams belong in his department, and hence
he ought to take care of them. The Gov
ernor has instructed the officer in command
of the State troops to avoid conflict il
possible, but to sustain the State officers in
executing their warrants. This, in effect,
means fight unless the Indians become
alarmed at the presence of SO many
soldiers and hasten back beneath the shell
ter Of their reservations. As late as Mon
day the Indians still had their squaws
and children with them, which does not
look as though they meant or expected
serious trouble.

BRITISH USURPATION.

Venezuela Agitated Over british In.
croachments Upon American Territory
The United States Invited to Intervene.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Guzman Blanco
President of Venezuela, is stopping at the
Windsor Hotel. In an interview with q
reporter to-day he said:
''The boundary question between vene-
zuela and the colony of Demarara is of
the greatest interest to Venezuela
and the United States. 1 am as
founded beyond measure that the
American press has failed to max
mention of the acts of Great Britain in APP
propriating territory of Venezuela and
south of the Orinoco. South America is
divided into three great sections, one o
which is watered by the Orinoco,
another by the Amazon and tn
third by the La Plata. The prosper
ity of these divisions depends, in a
large measures on the free access to COM
merce of the three rivers. The Orinoco
belongs to Venezuela as heir of the Span
iards. The English are acquiring not only
the territory of the Orinoco and Amazon,
but have actually taken possession of the
land bounding the Orinoco at
its mouth. This act Venezuela
she has suspended her relations with En-
SAeshSiS anu heho dppliCu w tAo ~ AICSu
States Government to act as arbitrator in
behalf of Venezuela. The English
Government has denied the right of
arbitration of the matter. Venezuela
therefore proposes to send a sufficient
army to drive the English usurpers from
her territory. 1t is hoped that the United
States will intervene to terminate the
question, and require Great Britain to
submit to arbitration"
President Blanco regretted that the
American press had not taken up the mat.

tory by a foreign power is of
Importance to the United States.
Venezuela is at perfect peace, and her
financial condition is good. The country
is occupied in building railroads, and in
carrying on local enterprise.

STATE OF ILLINOIS. LIVINGSTON COUNTY, SIS !:
In the matter of the inquisition on the body Of
MRS. DR.. Ducsett, of Forrest H., deceased,
held at Chatsworth on the 18th day of August,
A D., 1887: We, the undersigned jurors, sworn
10 inquire into the cause of the death OF Mrs.
Dr. Duckett, late of Forest, ILL.,, on oath do find
that she came to her death by injuries received
In the wrecking of the Niagara Falls excursion
train on the Toledo. Peoria & Western railway,
on which she was passenger at bridge two
and one-half miles east of Chatsw orth, about
twelve O'CLOCK, midnight, Wednesday, August
10, 1887.
We find that the wreckinp OF the said train.
which totally demolished eight coaches, one
baggage car and one engine, and either killed
or wounded most OF the occupants of said
coaches, was caused by said bridge having been
burned out before the train struck it. We think
from the evidence that the bridge was fired
from fires left burning, which had been set as
late as five o'clock that afternoon by the
section men, close as sixteen feet
on both the east and west sides of the
bridge. We further find that the foreman of
Scctioh o IiiHOtny CCugnnn, dfSoDeyeQ POSI-
tive orders from his superior to examine the
track and bridges on his section the last thing
on Wednesday; and we find that he did not go
over the west two and one half miles at all ON
Wednesday, and that the said foreman, Cough:
lin, was guilty of gross and criminal careless
ness in leaving fires burning along the track in
such a dry season and with such strong wind
blowing
I'VE recommend that he be held for exami-
nation by the grand jury; and, further, it is
the opinion OF the jury that the leaving of the
track without being patroled for six hours be-
fore the passage of the excursion. and the set
ting OF fires by the section men on such dry
and windy day as on the 10th of August, 1887,
were acts which deserve severe criticism.
